I think I found the patch; these must be them.
/usr/src/kernel-patches/i386/openmosix/openMosix-2.4.18-4.gz
/usr/src/kernel-patches/i386/openmosix/openMosix-2.4.19-7.gz
/usr/src/kernel-patches/i386/openmosix/openMosix-2.4.20-2.gz
/usr/src/kernel-patches/i386/openmosix/openMosix-2.4.21-1.gz
/usr/src/kernel-patches/i386/openmosix/openMosix-2.4.22-1.gz
which means downloading the 2.6.x kernel is a waste of time for what I want!
But now I find:
root@3[openmosix]# tar -xvzf openMosix-2.4.22-1.gz
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
root@3[openmosix]#
I then tried to 'apt-get install openMosix' to make sure there wasn't an
update but no such luck!
I don't even know what I should google for to find an answer to this problem.
